Just wanted to say a
belated thank you to all the volunteers who helped at our conformation show this
past April. We couldn’t run the show without you. Every little bit helped
make our show a continued success.

Guests: Melanie
Down who has an Old English Sheepdog, Michelle Bugden and has a mixed breed and
Chris Pouliot they are interested in maybe doing some rally or agility

Executive: Jen
Marquardt, Connie Johnson

Meeting called to order:
at 7:15

Minutes from last meeting
approved by Chelsea

Unfinished Business:
Show committee elections were to be tonight and due to poor attendance it looks
like the committee will remain the same unless someone is interested in taking
a position

Speakers for dog club:
Linda to look into it

Sanction matches for Rally
o – Jane and Sandy need to look into that….. so we can potentially have a trial
at the show to help attract attention

Correspondence:
e-mail from LeeAnn asking about dog parks and why we don’t have one - Petawawa
Terrace park is ticketing dogs off leash. Perhaps we could sponsor a garbage can
by the entrance

A dog free park – do we
want one, does someone want to look into it

Chelsea to ask/research
about Dog Free Park. Chelsea to call and see about can and sponsoring the
purchase.

*Publicity – see if
they can get a story to let people know about the danger of losing our
privileges

Treasurer’s report:
Credit card may not be able to get since we are not a corporation, Connie is
going to look into it further

Properties: Not
enough people here to vote on the floor. Scott is on holidays in July 12-25, so
he would like to raise the floor then. Supports have to be put up first… Not
going to need a lot of manpower. Need to get an e-mail approval. This needs
to be done.

We also need to get new
locks.

Public Relations:
Poop story- -see correpondence

Obedience Report:
Jane says Kim is willing to come back but nothing is set as of yet…

Rally-O practice
tentatively set to begin Wed nights starting July 1 – Sandy to get back to us
with details.

Conformation:
Diane Edwards has been contacted about being our new show secretary. Dates
approved for 2010, we are up against Sherbrooke. Ways to get entries – reduce
entries for puppies or have a bred by best in show

Agility: Jane
checked out that lady, nobody had heard of her, very few qualifications

Nationals are on in Ottawa
the long week-end in August – Jane has qualified again.

At the equestrian centre
off Moodie Drive

New Business:
Summer Party – usually in August (August 19th??) instead of a
meeting. Sandy are you willing to host the party this year??? We are all in
favour!!!! Any ideas please let us know.

Chelsea would like to know
if there is interest for some type of handling class? Maybe once or twice a
month just to generate interest- interest in JR. Handling. If anyone is
interested in this type of thing let Connie know….something in the fall .
Connie to ask Chris about maybe doing this

Bronwyn wanted to know if
anyone was interested in having a games night maybe in October, where there
would be fun activities with your dog? Little bit of everything.. let Bronwyn
know if you are interested

If there is interest we
would need to book a location!!

29th of August
Cobden – Rally, agility, therapy, meet and greet, puppies, would be good for
pamphlets to be available for that, a race between dogs – announcer we will need
someone to talk about what we are doing. Cards ready ahead of time. Jen will
write the cards and we would need someone to talk (Jane or Brenda)
